The 45th President of the United States will be sworn in on the steps of the US Capitol at noon, when current President Barack Obama's term expires.

The win for Trump means Hillary Clinton failed in her historic bid to become the first female President of the US.

Clinton won about two million votes more than Mr Trump in the popular vote, statistics show.

Similar events occurred in 2000, when Al Gore lost to George W Bush by five electoral votes - even though he won the popular vote.

Before him, Grover Cleveland lost to Benjamin Harrison in 1888, Samuel Tilden lost to Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, and Andrew Jackson lost to John Quincy Adams in 1824.
